Shaks took to social media after ordering the bed online for £269.99 to show people what had arrived.
Many people have had issues after ordering from the site, like one woman whose curtains arrived and were just inches long.
But it didn't put Shaks off ordering the bed.
When it finally arrived, it came in numerous boxes and it was a struggle to assemble.
She said: "Okay, so I bought a bed from Shein so you don't have to.
"Well, to start off with, it was confusing. The instructions, why? The Shein manufacturer needs to redo them because we had to undo, start again about three, four times."
However, once she finally got the hang of the instructions, it was 'alright'.
The luxe-looking bed came in beige faux leather and had storage baskets underneath.
But that's not all, the headboard had a built-in phone charger as well as LED lights to set the mood.
Once it was built and she was able to control the light system, Shaks was left seriously impressed.
I bought a Shein sofa - it arrived in a single box & took 72 hours to 'inflate'
The Shein buyer had waited to buy a mattress to make sure the bed frame was exactly what she ordered.
She added: "I can honestly say you can buy your bed from Shein.
"You can soon buy a house and land and car and babies on Shein.
"It even comes with LED lights, yeah, go and get your bed, girls and boys."
Shak gave viewers an update four months later on how the bedframe held up and she still loved the bargain buy.
"It's still standing, it's firm, and it's strong," she added.
The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @shaks6 with over 20 million views.
People couldn't believe the bed worked out and took to the comments to share their surprise.
One person wrote: "Buying a bed from Shein is crazy."
Another commented: 'The minute SHEIN starts doing overnight shipping… It's over."
What is Shein and is it legit?
Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
"Don't tempt me," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I didn't actually think you could buy a legit bed."
"I like the fact you're a risk taker lol,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'Crazyyy, I thought it'd be a scam that's better than my bed from The Range."

The supermarket's in-house fashion label, F&F, has become a firm favourite for its stylish buys at budget-friendly prices. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The stylish mum-of-four looked incredible in the wallet-friendly frocks Credit: tiktok/@ 2 The summery dress features a ribbed, fitted bandeau top and flowy skirt with pockets And now thrifty fashionistas are raving about yet another bargain find - a new strapless midi dress that's perfect for a sunny holiday or a day on the beach. The best part? You'll even get change from £20, making it ideal for a cheap summer wardrobe refresh.

Katrina, who describes herself as ''midsize'', snapped up the £19.50 frock in both black and khaki - although the retailer also offers a stunning version in cream. The summery dress features a ribbed, fitted bandeau top and flowy skirt with pockets - it really doesn't get much better than this. Whatever the occasion, fashionistas can easily dress it up or down - pair it with sandals or Birkenstocks for a more casual ensemble, or team it with heels for a fancier look. The supermarket find ranges from a size 6 to 22. However, it's not available on the website so you'll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on it. According to Katrina, from Solihull, there were ''loads of black in Shirley'' - but she did bag ''the last green'' one. The stylish mum-of-four, who posts under the username @ modelled the fabulous dresses with the on-trend chunky sandals, a belt around her waist, summery accessories and a pair of sunnies.

How to find the perfect DD+ dress for summer Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Finding a dress that flatters your bigger bust can be hard, often dresses can leave your bra showing, squash your bust and just be ill fitting in general. However, there are a few things you can look out for that will make dress shopping easier. A V-neck is a really flattering neckline as it gives your chest some more space, however, don't discount a square neck also, not only is this a trendy neckline, but will also give your bust the room it needs. Empire line fits are also super flattering, you just need to make sure they fall underneath the bottom of your bra, that way your bust will sit nicely before the rest of the dress skims your body. Wrap style dresses are also a great option but just make sure to look for an added popper detail, so that you don't have to use a safety pin to hold the dress in place and stop your bra from showing. Extra shirring detail on the back will also give the dress more room for stretch around your chest. And if you're looking for a backless dress then make sure there is one with a tie detail at the back that means you can still wear a bra. If all that sounds like something you're interested in then here at Fabulous we have created a collection specifically designed for DD+ boobs that ticks all of these boxes. Check it out here at The frock, which is amazing for avoiding those tan lines this summer, has become a mega hit on social media, as Katrina's video has racked up close to 140k views in just two days. More than 2,700 people gave it a like, as dozens flooded to comments, where one wrote: ''Gorgeous aren't they, I got the black one and the cream one, I was gutted they didn't have the green in my size.'' A mum-to-be chimed in: ''Oh my goodness my pregnant self NEEDS these dresses.'' A third said: ''Loveeee these !!! Suits you so well too.'' Meanwhile, someone else warned: ''i've got the cream one it's beautiful but is a bit see through.''
